We bought this boat looking for an easy solution to fit our family of 6, something easy to get in and out of the water and something that was not a huge investment. The Newport Catalina fits the bill perfectly! Really pleased with the overall quality and ease of setup. We were able to launch it off our dock. I also purchased a Hangkai 18HP off Amazon and highly recommend that motor as well. Brand new boat and motor for under $3000. With 6 people we were cruising at about 17mph and can easily break 20mph with 2 people. From the time Amazon delivered the boat to fully assembling it, mounting the motor and powering around the pond was less than 2 hours. It will probably be more like 1 hour next time now that we know the processes. Lots of compliments on the boat from neighbors and friends! ... show more

    • Great Boat
Style Name: 8-Feet 10-Inch Design: Inflatable Dinghy Boat
Spent a lot time considering something to fish out of. Looked at a lot kayaks but don't have the room to store it and didn't really want to haul it on the roof. Started looking at inflatable kayaks, but in all of the planning of what I wanted out of the kayak (including modifications for a trolling motor) I realized that might not fit the bill, particularly if I wanted to bring someone with me. I started looking at inflatables and for the price this one hit all the right buttons. I bought this boat last December and have been waiting to use it. Finally got it out last weekend. It's a great boat. Really nice looking and it seems well made. The material seems quite sturdy and well assembled, time will tell if the materials hold up. I once had a Sea Eagle SE9 and there is no comparison between the two. The Sea Eagle took forever to inflate even with an electric pump. It didn't hold up very well either developing slows throughout the hull. Compare prices, there's no comparison. I bought an electric pump for this boat but was really surprised how quickly it inflated, even with the foot pump. It literally took 90 seconds per bladder to inflate to about 75%. Put in the floorboards, a little tricky but watch some videos on Youtube and they will go together pretty quickly. It took an additional 60 seconds per bladder to fully inflate the boat. The keel inflates in about 30 seconds. Total time from the trunk to the water was about 20 minutes, but that includes mounting the motor, wheeling it to the water with my homemade dolly, and putting all our tackle in the boat. I expect to get faster with use. I have a small hatchback and I put the boat, motor, battery and all tackle and equipment in the back of the hatchback. It's pretty cool to be able to take so much in a small space. We have a 30 lbs trolling motor but I will be buying an outboard later this year. The trolling motor pushed it along with no problem. It was a little tight with two of us in it but I plan on not bringing the large cooler the next time and expect to have plenty of room for two to fish out of it. I'm a big boy at 6'2" and 275 lbs. Really looking forward to taking it out by myself, There will be plenty of room for me and any fishing tackle imaginable. Downside - it blows around a bit in the wind. This is common for most inflatables so it's not really an issue of this boat specifically. Bring an anchor. One of the things I hated about the Sea Eagle was the pain in the back I got from sitting on the low seats in the boat. This boat has larger tubes and this raises the seating position to nearly a normal height. This might seem like a small issue but spend 4 or 5 hours in the boat fishing and this will be an advantage over other boats. In studying this I don't know of any other manufacturer which has tubes this large. I expect the larger tubes will also be helpful once at speed on plane. Standing in the boat wasn't even an issue, another reason to forgo the kayak. This is a real boat with all the advantages you'd have from any boat with the exception of needing to inflate it before use. A downside to an inflatable is what you gain in portability and space you lose in convenience. For me it was the right compromise. ... show more

Review Image by Shaun Shaun
I read through these reviews for about two weeks over and over and contemplated purchasing the 12.5 Catalina, and I am SO glad I did. I have been looking for a high-capacity (1600 lbs) fishing boat alternative that is easy to get in and out of the water. I have a 55 lbs trolling motor on it right now and I have been fishing in it every weekend when the weather is good. I upgraded from an Excursion 5, because I kept putting small holes in it. This Newport Catalina is a freaking tank! I am not worried it at all! It is so sturdy, so comfortable, and perfect for fishing. Yes, the floorboards are harder to put in the first time, but once you get the hang of it then it's pretty simple. I do not do it the same way as the videos show, I lift the 3rd and 4th (Catalina has 5 boards) until they are together like a tent and then push them down at the same time. Not a problem. Because pumping it up at the water and deflating it will cut into your time to fish, I recommend grabbing a trailer for this and leaving it inflated all season. I plan to grab at least a 10 HP motor for this puppy next season and will add to my review when I have it. Don't hesitate, this is NOT a piece of crap. Another thing I didn't find much about when I was reading the reviews was how shallow I could get with the boat since I sometimes find myself in smaller streams. With about 700 lbs in the Catalina I am able to crews safely in 6 inches of water. I have to lift the trolling motor and use the paddles in these cases, but I am not worried at all. I can't wait to get a Bimini top and take the wife and kids out! (They don't fish lol) Update: After having this boat for a couple of years I decided to purchase the max HP available for it. This sucker is 100x more fun now. I can easily reach 20 mph (26 alone). I've caught a lot of fish on this boat and I'll say that I have put this boat through a lot. Don't be worried because it's an inflatable. I have been in some crazy places and (carefully) dragged this boat through some crazy rocky spots and I've put it everywhere I put my bass boat and more. ... show more

Don't waste your money on a inflatable newport boat. I bought a 8' new port dinghy from amazon. Used for 2 months worked good then stored it deflated for a year seams came apart now will not hold air. Contacted customer service they said sorry warranty is out already cant help you. They didn't even offer to send me some glue to fix the seams. Going to the dump. Will never buy newport dinghy again. ... show more

    • Does not hit plane with recommended 9.9 HP size motor
Style Name: 8-Feet 10-Inch Design: Inflatable Dinghy Boat
This dinghy looks and feels amazing, it is a quality built product and with a great price. The big issue is that its Bow Happy and does not plane riding with its bow sticking up high which sucks as you cannot hit higher speeds and it is very uncomfortable to ride. If they have a solution for this and get it solved then I would rated a 9, but do to this major flaw it is a 6. Newport, let me know if there is a solution to this. Thanks, ... show more
